Ullapool Scotland | Echoes of the Past Echoes of the Past Mill Street Old Burial Ground, Ullapool, The Scottish Highlands The last post on Ullapool in the Scottish Highlands of 2014, is the Mill Street Old Burial Ground. We had walked along the seafront, when I noticed the old cemetery over looking the loch. It was getting a little late, but it would be the only chance I would get to take some photos, as we were leaving the following day. So I walked through the old iron railing gates and then in front of me appeared the most wonderful view of Loch Broom. There was just enough light left to record this, the oldest established burial ground in Ullapool, dating from the towns creation in 1788. Ardmair Point, The Scottish Highlands – A Touring Site with a View Our home for a couple a days in 2014, after leaving the Outer Hebrides, was a wonderful site at Ardmair Point, about three miles from Ullapool where the ferry terminal to the Outer Hebrides is located.

I would not normally post about where we stayed in the motorhome, but this place was amazing. 2104 Postcards From Ullapool, The Scottish Highlands We arrived in Ullapool on the ferry from Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides in 2014, after a wonderful trip through the Islands. Our second part of the holiday was to tour the Scottish Highlands, up to John o’Groats and then back home to Norfolk. Ullapool is a surprise, a lovely one, it is how one thinks of a Highland small fishing town. Lots of white buildings and the harbour is full of fishing vessels of one kind or another. There are lots of lovely little one off shops and the Caledonian Hotel, built in the 1900’s, is one of the oldest hotels in the area. A little history…..On the east shore of Loch Broom, Ullapool was founded in 1788 as a herring port by the British Fisheries Society. It was designed by Thomas Telford.

Signature Extended Tour [view more] View Full Tour Itinerary Day One Edinburgh - Inveraray - Oban Departing from Edinburgh we travel westwards across Scotland to reach Glasgow, Scotlandï¿½s largest city.

Soon we enter the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park , a natural wonder that is just waiting to be discovered. Loch Lomond is a real highlight - this is Britain's largest lake and one of Scotland's loveliest. It has 30 islands, including one inhabited by a colony of wallabies! Weï¿½ll make a stop in the pretty village of Luss so you can take a stroll by the "bonnie, bonnie banks". The Argyll Forest Park is famed for its ancient trees, tranquil lochs and mountains. Look out for Ben Arthur, affectionately known as "The Cobblerï¿½ - itï¿½s one of Scotlandï¿½s most popular climbs. Soon our coach starts our ascent of the "Rest and be Thankfulï¿½ mountain pass. Youï¿½ll soon realise why this road has such an unusual name when you look down on General Wade 's original road that winds its way through Glen Croe all the way to the summit! The 3rd Duke of Argyll built the "new" town of Inveraray at the head of Loch Fyne.

The town sits in the shadow of his castle and, as we will discover, this pleasant town retains much of its 18th Century charm. From Lochgilphead we enter Kilmartin Glen. This mysterious Glen has one of the most concentrated areas of prehistoric sites in Scotland including a linear cemetery ï¿½ a line of burial cairns that stretch for over 2 miles. Nearby is Dunadd , a hill fort that dates from the Iron Age. Dunadd was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Dalriada so this part of Argyll has played an important part in the creation of modern Scotland! Soon we arrive in the bustling, beautiful port of Oban, our stop for tonight. Oban is the gateway to the isles so why not take a pre-dinner stroll and admire the views over the busy harbour. Overnight: Oban Day Two Oban - Glen Coe - Skye (2 nights) We bid farewell to Oban and make our way to the Connel Bridge. As we cross Loch Etive look out for the Falls of Lora below.

Glen Coe is arguably Scotland's most famous Glen partly because of it's awe-inspiring beauty and, more sinisterly, because of the infamous massacre that took place here in 1692. The sad tale will be told as we make a short diversion to explore this special place for ourselves. Fort William's glorious setting on the banks of Loch Linnhe has made it a popular tourist destination since the arrival of the steamships in the mid-1900's. The town sits in the shadow of Ben Nevis , which, at 4,406 feet, is the tallest mountain in the UK. Here we leave our tour coach and board the Jacobite Steam TrainE for a journey of a life time on the famous West Highland Line ï¿½ regarded by many as the most scenic in Britain! From Fort William the train travels along the banks of Loch Eil then crosses the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct, featured in the Harry Potter movies as part of the route to Hogwarts. Look out for the Glenfinnan Monument built to commemorate the ill-fated Jacobite up-rising of Bonnie Prince Charlie in 1745.

The scenic journey continues with wonderful views of Lochs Eilt, Ailort and nan Uamh before reaching the silver sands of Morar (made famous in the popular film Local Hero) and Mallaig. After some free time to enjoy the views over the Sound of Sleat to the Magical Isle we board a ferry for our crossing "Over the sea to Skyeï¿½. A short drive brings us to Kyleakin, our home for the next two nights. E Departures of 23 May to 29 August will travel on the Jacobite Steam Train. All other departures will feature a cruise on Loch Ness and admission to Urquhart Castle. Overnight: Kyleakin, Isle of Skye Day Three Touring the Magical Isle After breakfast we board our coach for a wonderful day of exploration. From the little villages and gentle scenery of the southern part of the island the views will change dramatically as the Cuillin Hills come into sight. Considered by many to be amongst the finest hills in Britain the Cuillins present a vista that is simply unforgettable. Set round its natural harbour the picturesque town of Portree is the largest community on the Isle of Skye.

The name of the town means the "King's Port" following a visit by King James V in 1540. Today the pretty painted houses which surround the harbour give Portree an old fashioned appeal. During our stop there will be time to explore the town and browse the interesting shops that surround Sumerled Square. Later we tour the famed Trotternish Peninsula . From Portree we travel northwards to the little ferry port of Uig from where ferries sail to the Outer Herbrides. At little Kilmuir there is a monument to Flora MacDonald who, famously, assisted Bonnie Prince Charlie to escape the Government Troops who were hunting for him. We'll stop to explore The Quiraing , a dramatic terrain formed by a landslide. We'll stop so you can walk through a landscape that dates from Jurassic times! See if you can identify the rock formations that are known as the "Needle", "Table" and "Prison". A short drive brings us to Kilt Rock, so named because the basalt columns of this rock fall to resemble the pleats of a kilt - we will stop so you can snap an "I was there" photograph!

After a break for lunch in Portree Overnight: Kyleakin, Isle of Skye Day Four Skye ï¿½ Inverewe Gardens - Loch Ness After breakfast we bid farewell to the Isle of Skye and return to the mainland. We stop to visit picturesque Eilean Donan Castle *. This is, without doubt, one of Scotland's most iconic sights. The castle stands on a little island situated at the confluence of Loch's Alsh and Duich. We'll have time to discover the castle for ourselves during our stop here. There are wonderful views over Lochcarron as we make our way through Glen Carron to reach Achnasheen. Wildlife thrives in this part of Scotland so as we drive through this striking scenery keep a watch out for local residents such as red deer, golden eagles and pine martins. A drive through Glen Docherty brings us to pretty Loch Maree, one of the most scenic in the country. Our next treat is a stop at lush Inverewe Gardens*. In stark contrast to the remote surroundings a wide variety of exotic plants and shrubs survive happily at Inverewe, thanks to the efforts of the Gulf Stream.

We continue our tour through the little village of Poolewe and along the banks of Little Loch Broom to visit the dramatic Falls of Measach which drop some 150 feet (46 m) into the ravine below. A relaxing drive brings a late afternoon arrival in Fort Augustus, which sits on the banks of Loch Ness. Overnight: Fort Augustus Day Five Loch Ness ï¿½ Dunrobin Castle - Stornoway, Isle of Lewis (2 nights) After breakfast we drive along the banks of enigmatic Loch Ness . As we do keep a close watch just in case "you know whoï¿½ makes an appearance! After a brief panoramic tour of Inverness, the Capital of the Highlands, we enjoy grandstand views of the Moray Firth as we travel over the Kessock Bridge. After travelling through the Black Isle we will cross the Cromarty and Dornoch Firths to reach Golspie where, high above the town, sits an astonishing statue, 27m (90') high. This is of the First Duke of Sutherland, whose agents were involved in the most notorious of the Clearances in the Highlands during the 19th Century.

Weï¿½ll hear more about this sad episode in the history of Scotland and contrast the fate of the tenants, who were forced from their homes, with the grand opulence of Dunrobin Castle, the ancestral home of the Duke of Sutherland. Our optional visit to Dunrobin* will give you time to explore the castle and its extensive gardens. Weï¿½ll explore the Knockan Crag National Nature Reserve which is one of the most important geological sites in Europe. Weï¿½ll discover more about the mysteries that are locked up in the rocks during our visit. The fishing port of Ullapool sits on Loch Broom and is where we board our ferry for the crossing of The Minch to reach Stornoway, on the Isle of Lewis. The sailing will take 2 hours 45 minutes and our cruise-ferry boasts extensive lounge and dining facilities. On arrival in Stornoway it is a short drive to our accommodation for the next two nights. Overnight: Stornoway Day Six Exploring Lewis Together Harris and Lewis make Scotlandï¿½s largest island.

These islands have been inhabited for over 6,000 years and there is a real sense of history as we will discover as we spend today discovering Lewis. After breakfast we will make our way to the Butt of Lewis where a lighthouse stands warning passing ships of the nearby rocks. This is the most northerly point of the Outer Hebrides. Due west from here is nothing but the North Atlantic until you reach Newfoundland, Canada! The astonishing Callanish Standing Stones is our next visit. Archaeologists believe that these 15 foot (5 m) stones were placed here by Neolithic people sometime between 3,000 and 1,000 BC and the site is rated second in importance only to Stonehenge. A short distance away is the impressive Dun Carloway Broch , an Iron Age stone fort known to have been built more than 2,000 years ago. This is one of the best preserved fortified towers in Scotland and itï¿½s beautifully located with wonderful views over Loch Carloway and the sea beyond.

The weaving of Tweed cloth has, traditionally, been an important home-based industry for islanders so when we visit a local weaver *, on our last visit of the day, there will be an opportunity to see the fabric being hand woven in the time-honoured fashion ï¿½ a truly fascinating process. Overnight Stornoway Day Seven Exploring Harris Today we concentrate on the neighbouring island of Harris. Weï¿½ll travel through the imposing hills of North Harris to reach the little village of Tarbert, the main port serving the island. The little island of Taransay has found fame as the setting for the popular TV programme, Castaway as well as the movie "Rocket Mailï¿½. Weï¿½ll stop so you can admire the views and take a stroll along Luskentyre Beach , which appears never-ending. This is a great place to enjoy some beach combing. Look out for the machairs which sit behind the beach - these green grassy plains are covered in a mass of wild flowers in the summer. We return to Stornoway for some free time so can explore this bustling port before our island interlude comes to an end and we catch the ferry back to the mainland.

Overnight: Inverness Day Eight Inverness ï¿½ Cairngorm National Park - Edinburgh Thereï¿½s time to explore Inverness, the Capital of the Highlands before travelling the short distance to visit tragic Culloden Moor *. It was here that the Jacobite army of Bonnie Prince Charlie was routed by Government troops in a bloody battle in 1746. Weï¿½ll stop at a local whisky distillery* so that you can discover how our National drink is lovingly produced. After our tour youï¿½ll have the chance to sample a "wee nipï¿½ and shop for souvenirs. The Cairngorm National Park is Britainï¿½s largest and contains five of Scotlandï¿½s six highest peaks. The park provides stunning backdrop to our travels through the Spey Valley then we descend through the Drumochter Pass to reach the pleasant Victorian tourist town of Pitlochry where we will stop for refreshments. The dramatic scenery of Highland Perthshire gives way to rolling farmland as we reach the "Fair Cityï¿½ of Perth then we join the motorway for our journey through the ancient Kingdom of Fife.

The final part of our drive offers wonderful views of the Forth Rail Bridge as we make our way into Edinburgh. * Admission Fees Eilean Donan Castle - £7.00 Adult £3.50 Child Inverewe Gardens - £10.50 Adult £7.50 Child Loch Ness Cruise - £13.50 Adult £10.50 Child Culloden Moor - £11.00 Adult £8.50 Child Dunrobin Castle - £11.00 Adult £6.50 Whisky Distillery - £5.00 Adult Scottish Highlands Explorer | Ullapool Ullapool News Fishermen expand their Handa tourism venture Wildlife tourism worth 65 million pounds a year European accolade for North West Geopark Ullapool is a happening place.

The Captain's Cabin on Quay Street is practically an institution in the area. Constance Mitford opened the Captain's Cabin gift shop in 1946. Today her granddaughter Katrina Thomson is the third generation in the family to stand at the helm. The emphasis is on Scottish-made goods and there's a huge range of gifts with character including fine china, jewellery, pottery and knitwear.

The museum's main exhibition, ‘The people of the Loch’, interweaves the natural and social history of the area. The award-winning audiovisual presentation explores the links between local people and the environment - past, present and future. There's no shortage of activities in Ullapool with both loch and sea fishing, wildlife watching and cycling. Ullapool Golf Course is a fine challenge for golfers of every level, while many local outdoor companies specialise in climbing and walking tours. With so much to do, it's worth staying a while.

Ullapool Coastal Cottages - Site Under Development Port Á Mhinich Cottage Coastal Living in Comfort Ullapool is a lovely fishing village on the shores of Loch Broom in the stunning North West Highlands. The Summer Isles lie at the entrance to the loch and there are amazing hills and mountains all around. Our families have lived here for generations and we have recently renovated and modernised two family cottages: Craigmore – which was built by my great-grandfather; and Port à Mhinich – built by my parents. They are both warm, bright and inviting and are in the best locations in the area. A perfect coastal home from home in the Highlands.
